First, let him withstand the punishment of fire and water for three hundred years.
Under Dantai Meng’s urging, the World-Ending Demon Fire surged upward nine thousand zhang high with Tianhuo, while the poison water was vast, like the endless sea.
Lu Changsheng suffered from the torment of demonic fire and poisoned water, in extreme agony.
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s painful expression, Dantai Meng felt slightly appeased.
“Humph, now you know my power, right? If you are willing to become my dog, I’ll stop, or else you will endure this forever, suffering endless torment.”
Dantai Meng believed that Lu Changsheng would eventually give in.
No one can withstand such torment without submitting.
Lu Changsheng, within the space of the bottle, was protected by the Purple Sun Fire-Avoiding Talisman and the Purple Sun Water-Avoiding Talisman, hence was invulnerable to all fire and fearless of all water.
The reason Lu Changsheng showed an expression of pain was just to deceive Dantai Meng.
Only by successfully fooling the opponent would he have a chance to turn the tables.
Lu Changsheng also knew his current predicament was extremely dangerous.
The greatest danger was that Dantai Meng had brought him to the Demon Realm.
Lu Changsheng was the Holy Son of Tai Hua, an identity that had clout in the Immortal Realm; the Holy Lands, Sects, and even the Heavenly Court had to give Lu Changsheng some face.
However, the Demon Chiefs of the Demon Realm would pay no heed to any Holy Son of Tai Hua and would kill if they intended to.
Isn’t being the son of the Heavenly Emperor significant enough?
The Impermanence Demon Monarch still dared to beat the son of the Heavenly Emperor publicly.
Secondly, Lu Changsheng was trapped in the Ruthless Water Fire Bottle, unable to destroy this magical treasure and escape to freedom.
Unlike the crisis in Qianyuan Cave Heaven, where he could turn the situation around with the help of Elixir Pills, this time wasn’t something he could simply resolve with Elixir Pills.
Even if he had several Ancestral Dragon Blood Pills, he couldn’t destroy Dantai Meng’s magical treasure, nor could he escape the Demon Realm.
The only fortunate thing was that Lu Changsheng had fallen into the hands of Dantai Meng instead of Demon Realm Powerhouses like the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable or the Cold Bone Demon Venerable; otherwise, the difficulty of fleeing would increase by billions of times.
Lu Changsheng must rack his brains to have a glimmer of hope for survival.
Deceiving Dantai Meng was the first step to escaping the Demon Realm.
Only by tricking Dantai Meng could he fight for that slim chance of survival.
A year passed.
Three years passed.
Ten years passed.
A hundred years passed.
Lu Changsheng, tormented by the Ruthless Water Fire Bottle, became emaciated and his vital energy depleted, almost breathing his last.
Dantai Meng was meditating and cultivating, waiting for Lu Changsheng to beg for mercy.
“You, why haven’t you agreed to my terms yet!”
Dantai Meng had waited a hundred years, and Lu Changsheng was almost “fallen,” but he still refused to beg for mercy.
Dantai Meng couldn’t swallow her pride.
The punishments of water and fire inside the Ruthless Water Fire Bottle were different from ordinary spiritual fire and poisoned water; they could make a person suffer severe pain from their physical body to their soul, making life worse than death.
Unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng had been tormented for a hundred years yet still remained unyielding.
Dantai Meng found no response from Lu Changsheng, and his life force was weak; she immediately became anxious.
He couldn’t have really died, could he?
Dantai Meng hadn’t felt vindicated yet; if Lu Changsheng were to die like this, she would be unwilling.
She wanted Lu Changsheng to swear a blood oath to be her dog; only then would she be satisfied torturing him.
She observed the movements of Lu Changsheng inside the Ruthless Water Fire Bottle.
She saw Lu Changsheng swallowed repeatedly by the towering demonic fire and poisoned water, his body bobbing in the fire and water, at his last gasp.
“No, I can’t let him die like this.”
Unable to sense Lu Changsheng’s life force, Dantai Meng lost her composure.
Even Divine King Realm experts couldn’t hold on for a hundred years inside a fully activated Ruthless Water Fire Bottle; it seemed Lu Changsheng had reached his limit.
“Right, now is the perfect time to control him, make him swear a blood oath, and become my servant.”
Dantai Meng almost forgot she still possessed the Blood Oath Secret Art taught to her by the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable.
“`
Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable was one of the few Demon Lords in the Demon Realm whose power was second only to the Demon Lord and the Old Demon Marshal. He had created many Cultivation Techniques and secret techniques of the Demon Sects, among which one of the Divine Skills was the Blood Oath.
Once a Blood Oath was made, it couldn’t be undone, its maker had to follow their master’s commands or else, with a mere thought from the master, the maker’s Dao patterns would collapse.
It was precisely by using this Divine Skill that Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable had controlled many strong individuals, taking them as his subordinates, including Lin Beichen, the traitor of the Tai Hua Holy Land, who had willingly made a Blood Oath and allowed himself to be controlled by Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable.
Hence, one could glimpse the terrifying power of Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable. For this reason, even the Tai Hua Holy Land was reluctant to confront Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable directly.
Everyone in the Immortal Realm knew that the incident at Qianyuan Cave Heaven was manipulated behind the scenes by powers like Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable and Cold Bone Demon Venerable, but without proper preparation, they were powerless against them.
However, the Blood Oath Secret Art had its flaw, which was that the other party had to willingly accept control.
In the entire Demon Realm, only Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable knew the Mnemonic Verse of this Divine Skill, which he then taught to Dantai Meng.
Dantai Meng tore off the seal and removed the stopper, letting out the dying Lu Changsheng. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
“This guy, quite handsome indeed, too bad he has provoked me, Dantai Meng. Hereafter he’ll be my servant, working for me. I now have one more enforcer at my disposal.”
Dantai Meng held Lu Changsheng’s face and took a good look, although Lu Changsheng’s appearance was tarnished by the Demonic Fire within the treasured bottle, his temperament could not be concealed.
“Listen, recite this Mnemonic Verse and you will become my servant.”
Dantai Meng used her seduction technique, her words were like magic, embedding themselves into Lu Changsheng’s Sea of Consciousness, manipulating his divine sense.
Dantai Meng set up all manner of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for the Blood Oath Ceremony, preparing to proceed with the Blood Oath.
Under Dantai Meng’s manipulation, Lu Changsheng’s eyes grew hazy as he intoned the words of the Blood Oath, one sentence at a time.
“Good, soon you will become my servant.”
Dantai Meng couldn’t help but feel excited.
Lu Changsheng had an extremely high aptitude, even higher than her. If she could successfully take Lu Changsheng as a servant, once he grew in strength, he would become more powerful than those subordinates Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable had taken, and by that time Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable would have to regard her with newfound respect.
Dantai Meng recited a portion and Lu Changsheng followed suit, as if he had completely resigned himself to his fate.
However, when Dantai Meng recited the last sentence, Lu Changsheng suddenly stopped.
“What happened?”
Dantai Meng was puzzled when suddenly, the strand of Divine Sense she had split off to control Lu Changsheng was obliterated!
Lu Changsheng acted swiftly, seizing the Ruthless Water Fire Bottle from Dantai Meng’s hand.
This treasure posed the greatest threat to him; as long as Dantai Meng possessed it, he was no match for her.
“You…!”
Dantai Meng was shocked and hurried as Lu Changsheng snatched the treasure, and she quickly tried to wrest it back from him.
However, Lu Changsheng was of the Sixth Realm of Immortal Emperor, while Dantai Meng was merely at the Fifth Realm, leaving her no match for Lu Changsheng.
Moreover, Lu Changsheng had now acquired her treasure.
“Capture!”
A tremendous suction force emerged, and the treasured bottle absorbed Dantai Meng into it!
Lu Changsheng had used Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable’s treasure to capture his daughter!
If Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable were to find out, he might explode with rage…
“Damn it! Lu Changsheng, you deceived me! If I get out, I will kill you!”
Dantai Meng realized she was imprisoned within the treasure bottle and collapsed once again.
She had been played by Lu Changsheng!
This was the second time she had been outsmarted by Lu Changsheng.
But Lu Changsheng paid no attention to Dantai Meng’s threats.
After counterattacking Dantai Meng, he pondered how to escape from Hallucinatory Dark Demon Palace.
This was the palace of Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, housing a group of experts from the Demon Realm, with masters lurking everywhere. Escaping the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Palace would not be easy.
However, Lu Changsheng had not sensed the fearsome aura of Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable in these hundred years, indicating that it was very possible that Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable had left the palace due to other affairs.
Of course, the strength of Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable’s subordinates was not weak either; Lin Beichen and Impermanence Demon Monarch were all experts of the Demon Realm serving under Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable, with Lin Beichen being even stronger than Impermanence Demon Monarch.
If he were to encounter Lin Beichen, who had betrayed the Tai Hua Holy Land, in the Demon Realm, surviving would be nearly impossible for Lu Changsheng.
The outcome would be even worse if he encountered any other Demon Lords.
Lu Changsheng glanced at the Blood Oath Formation etched by Dantai Meng in the dungeon, a wicked idea taking root in his mind.
This madwoman had been keen on making him her servant and wanted to torment him; it would be fitting to use her own schemes against her.
